My very first political post

First I like to do some explanation about this page or blog. I blog purely on the basis if something is of interest to me or something that is worthwhile sharing. I don't exactly like the idea of just sharing all about my trips and photos etc. This creates a highlight reel of my life which distorts people's view of my life. I mention before I hardly head out and I am pretty content sitting at home and watching some videos online.

Second, I do not like to talk about political stuff online or in blogs. I prefer doing those in person. The biggest reason for that preference is in written media, tone is lost. It is very difficult to translate tone into written media which is why movies or video games are better at translating that tone to something that can be easily perceived.

Lastly, this topic I will be talking about is short and more of what I see of this issue than what the issue itself is about.

The Famlee Saga

So there is a house and 2 sides. Before even people start actually reading what the whole thing is about, there is already a stance that people must take sides.

Those for me is not the most important crux. I see some strange things being done on both sides. Neither side is truly free of fault. Again I am not going to point out what as I am sure if you somehow found my blog. you already figured out  all the strange things.

The biggest thing for me is people saying "this is a family affair, do not air your laundry out here. It is bad for Singapore". I would actually say talking about this in public is the right thing to do. Singapore can start stepping up and dealing with questionable things done. Not hush hush because the government cannot stand the scrutiny.

This is a good time for people to start paying attention. (When I say people here, I meant Singaporeans) It is a good time to really see if our government is able to stand the scrutiny from this issue. Is Singapore as transparent and open about issues that involve our Leaders.

I do not think it is good for Singapore if we keep avoiding topics and keep doing things at the back and hoping no one paid attention to the mistake made. Worse just admit making a mistake and not even looking what we can learn from it.

No country, leader or system is perfect. We change, adapt and improve as we go along. If truly this breaks our government/system, then we really need to look hard at how the whole thing failed. The failure make it obivous that the system we have is obivously not working as intended.

If we do not look to change, improve and adapt, we can expect one thing that will certainty happen in the future. We can expect Singapore no longer exist and people taking lesson from the failure of Singapore and Singaporeans not willing looking to look at issues. Like a frog in a pot of water and the water in the pot slowly heated to boiling hot.
